I was having trouble hearing His still small voice one time, and, I asked Him about it and He told me: The more secular entertainment that you watch interferes with your ability to hear my voice and discern it.../ 

So I watch a lot less secular entertainment now. 

That's powerful and speaks to me! (which also goes to show that often His speaking comes through fellow members of His body)

Sometimes He don't answer me. A couple times He has changed the subject (I asked a poor question, lol), Sometimes He'll puts a scripture in my head, Sometimes He answers right away.

If you ask 1000 different people how the Lord speaks to them, you'll get 1000 different answers. I used to pray in the morning and then go to work. 

There I was, Lord speak to me, bless my kids and all those and then say my Amen and get up and walk out to work? I wasn't giving Him a decent chance to speak to me. But scripture says we should learn to hear the still small voice of God, so I wanted to do that. 

Maybe I can't see Him yet, but no reason I shouldn't be able to hear Him. So I got the idea to don't say my morning Amen, and just invite Him to go with me to work. Talk to Him all day long like He is my best friend. And I would speak and pray, ask Him a question and then pause and listen. and it didn't work at all at first and made me feel like I was playing stupid games. 

Then, I'm pretty sure He put the scripture in my head about, you must become as a little child to enter heaven. What do children do? Play games. So suddenly it was ok! I started treating it like a game, but a child's game, where, it's real for the game. The floor is Lava, lol. So I wasnt being a nutball, it was a game! Except it was real. And I did that every day and talked to the Lord literally all day long, except when I went inside a customers house to work. It was at least two weeks and perhaps a month before I could hear His voice. 

I started inviting Him in the customers house with me after one day when I had a problem and couldn't find the problem. And He was there instantly when I prayed. I could feel His presence. And...I couldn't hear Him very good yet so no solution came! And I gave up on it and put it back together and packed up my tools and was wondering what am I going to tell the homeowner?! And as I closed my tool box, suddenly the customer had walked up and turned the furnace on...and it fired right up! It all of a sudden did not blow fuses anymore. That was the problem, it had a short to ground somewhere in the low voltage circuit somewhere, and I know how to do that stuff and I couldn't fund it. I was going to leave one last good fuse in it and the power off, (I was almost out of fuses), and the customer turned it on and it ran fine. I still don't know where the short was, lol! So I never thought about leaving Him in the truck again and always brought Him in! 

And one day it was like, the still small voice volume had been turned up!  And I began noticing differences in How He talked to me compared to how I talk and think, so it's easy to hear Him now. Now He even wakes me up at night to pray and stuff. He tells me let Him pick a video for me to watch instead of me picking. I am not fond of taking Him to the grocery store with me! Every time that I have asked the Lord, Lord, should I buy this? He says No! 

I've shared this a few times on a few different boards, but I bet n one will ever tell me, they tried this way like I did, and it worked? Prolly get 1000 different answers.

Title says it all.

What will it be?

Are you talking about here on earth in the form of prayer, or when you get "home"?

In prayer, it's the same question I always ask:

"Forgive me?"

If it's when I get "home".

"Where's my mom?  She's up here somewhere!"

That's one of the best testimonies I've ever heard on this!

I used to not share stuff like that because I didn't want to come across like it was a, Thus sayeth the Lord!!! And after awhile He did correct me on it. He said, something about, if I refrain from speaking the truth out of a fear of riducule orpride, then it's the same as refusing to speak the truth. 

So I thought, that settles that, and began sharing more of what I know and have seen happen. Testimonies are the best thing going at this time for truth. No doctrines, experiences. People. Most of them dont even take donations. I don't. So what reason is there to lie? No lies! 

It's the same thing with the gays and transformers. Their screaming for acceptance in the name of Christian love, but it requires us to accept them and withhold truth from them so it doesnt offend them? Bah! 

Time is short anyway. I should post another testimony today. A new one I havent shared yet! 

[Marathoner]

I remained silent for many years, @Edward429451. While it's certainly not needful to share everything, it's good to share that which edifies and builds up. In the beginning, I asked the Lord to judge what I should and should not divulge. Over time His instruction liberated me to judge such matters myself, always keeping in mind what purpose testifying will serve. This pleased Him.

We may ask the Lord whatever we wish at any time, confident that He will answer. He does indeed and just like how He taught me to judge a matter properly, I also learned what He will answer or refuse to answer.

The Lord refuses to reveal when my time upon this earth will end, only that it will; also that when my time has come, He will let me know. This relates to how close I came to the end of my time years ago, only for Him to reverse what was ushering this flesh to the grave. 

What does He say? That's not for you to know. All I need to concern myself with is this: walking in what Christ has me doing today. The wisdom of the Lord arms us to overcome this flesh and walk in the Spirit.

Do you truly forgive things I cannot forgive myself for?

or

What did you feel in your final moments on the cross. Was it pain, fear, peace or all 3?

1) Forgiven for what?

2) What do you most want to ask your mom right now?

1) What is it you can't forgive yourself for? If the Son does, should you not too? For what does it profit a man to harbor regret and remorse in his heart over a past evil he did, and which he's done his best to put right, and it's led the way to his correction, whereby it only cheats him out of his peace and joy? Has not the Conscience completed it's work, leaving a man free?

2) How would you feel at completing the greatest achievement in history? ;)

Amen!  Everything I read in the New Testament says His blood was totally efficacious and therefore we are 100% justified in Christ.  We just need to say "amen" and agree with the speaking blood! (as mind-blowing as that can be) We can have absolute confidence in Him - the debt is completely paid . . . HALLELUJAH WHAT A SAVIOR!!!
